Add 3 tablespoons hot milk to rice. Cook, uncovered, over medium-low to medium heat, stirring frequently, until milk is absorbed. Repeat process, adding 3 to 4 tablespoons milk each time, until rice is tender and mixture is creamy but not sticky, 25 to 30 minutes in all. Adjust heat and stir frequently throughout the cooking so that rice doesn't stick.

Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon into serving dishes; garnish with strawberry slices.
